Apple is “somewhat behind with features in the smartphone business,” says Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, “others have caught up. Samsung is a big competitor. But precisely because they are currently making great products…

“It’s so easy to doubt yourself, and it’s especially easy to doubt yourself when what you’re working on is at odds with everyone else in the world who thinks they know the right way to do things,” writes Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in his book iWoz…

So now there’s an EC-backed Human Brain Project, led by the Swiss research institute EPFL to bring together everything we know, and all we can learn, about the workings of brain molecules, cells and connections…

Ed is feeling troubled since the sacking of company co-founder and CTO Pat Cook. It’s not his conscience which is worrying him. It’s not the loss of Pat’s contribution to the business. It’s not the bad feeling caused by forcing Pat out. And it’s…

Eugene Kleiner, co-founder of Kleiner and Perkins which evolved into the tech industry’s most famous venture capital company, Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers, was good at propounding Laws. Kleiner generated many of these Laws which have passed into industry folk-lore, and which now form the set-in…

You can find a clone of the Uber platform and a clone of the AirBnB platform on GitHub. It's open source, so it can easily be customised to fit local needs.
People care about prices and Uber's commissions are high.
Uber will soon face competition.

Good point DontAgree, but waiting for genius is like waiting for Godot - it may never come along - and it will take genius to deliver quantum computing, if it's ever delivered. Meanwhile, I suppose, we have to plod along with incremental improvements to what we already have.

Well Yes Mark, Linley Gwennap observed in 2012 that desktop speeds were increasing by 10% a year and notebook speeds by 16% a year which is a far cry from the 60% a year increases being achieved before Intel hit the power wall in 2005. And then there's bloatware with the May's Law saying the efficiency of software halves every 18 months eliminating the benefits of Moore's Law.

I keep hearing about this "work smarter not harder" approach, why wouldn't that apply to computers???
Using existing of the shelf parts seems to be a more of a "work harder" approach.
My bet is on quantum computing, but granted that may be a bit further out.

The real need is more powerful computers to keep up with our massively faster brains. I remember back in the early 90s getting a 100MHz PC and being amazed at how fast it was. Now I have a multi core 3GHz notebook and I'm always waiting for it to catch up with me. The only explanation is that my brain is actually following a more aggressive version of Moore's law than Intel's. ;-)
